Luke 9:1-9 ▼

1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

3 And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staffs, nor bag, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

4 And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart.

5 And whoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead;

8 And by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets had risen again.

9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
